Re: Government spending as a percent of GDP
Of course there is massive government waste and I've always been an advocate of rooting it out. We just disagree one what programs in particular are "wasteful."
And while you may think the argument feeble, I disgree. As long as government continues to decline as a percentage of GDP it completely invalidates your continuous (and ridiculous) claims that we are progressing toward totalitarian socialism. The size and scope of government verses the private sector is decreasing, not increasing.
